Hello! My name is Mary Kate and I'm an American currently living in Dublin, Ireland. I'm an Archaeologist, musician, and massive nerd when it comes to literature and culture! I'm a big fan of jazz, funk, and most genres of music, and I love having a jam or picking up different styles on my fiddle. I'm easy going and quite tidy- I love having fun, but prefer to keep everything relaxed!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling, and always enjoy seeing a place or landscape through the eyes of the locals, as well as making connections with people around the world. Couchsurfing seems like a great opportunity both to learn about different cultures and people, as well as to share my loves and interests. I'm always on the go, and hope to make friendships that can of course be reciprocated with a stay in Dublin at some point!
